[torqueusers] Configuring Torque for local-only use on Mac OS X

[Kevin Murphy]

I'm hoping to learn about some of the Torque (2.3.0) features locally on 
my Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.3) laptop, but I haven't been able to get a 
test job to actually run.  Before running pbs_server, pbs_mom, and 
pbs_sched, I run 'sudo hostname localhost' (otherwise, I can't even 
start these processes).  I am a Torque newbie but have been doing my 
best with the manual and wiki.  The fundamental problem seems to be that 
pbs_server is unable to contact node 'localhost'.

$ qmgr -c 'p s'
#
# Create queues and set their attributes.
#
#
# Create and define queue batch
#
create queue batch
set queue batch queue_type = Execution
set queue batch acl_host_enable = False
set queue batch acl_hosts = localhost
set queue batch enabled = True
set queue batch started = True
#
# Set server attributes.
#
set server scheduling = True
set server acl_hosts = localhost
set server operators = murphy at localhost
set server operators += root at localhost
set server operators += username at localhost
set server default_queue = batch
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server scheduler_iteration = 600
set server node_ping_rate = 10
set server node_check_rate = 10
set server tcp_timeout = 6
set server next_job_number = 15

Here are log snippets showing events before and after a qsub (the dashed 
line is where the qsub occurs):
